Trades allow Nick Torres to move up, too

The Padres unclogged its organizational outfield jam when General Manager A.J. Preller shipped Melvin Upton Jr. and Matt Kemp out of town in a pair of trades that could open up playing time for top prospects Manuel Margot and Hunter Renfroe as soon as next month.

Meantime, Nick Torres is an immediate benefactor.
